  • I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.03.26

  • At least skimmed through [README][FAQ][BUGS]

  • [Searched] the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

  • Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)


I am currently unable to download the watch later playlist. It use to work and the last time was probably around January 10th. As you can see it now reports that the playlist no longer exists. I have a feeling youtube change something to break this functionality.

If I try other playlists it works just not with the WL playlist.

Hopefully this works.
Here is the output from the command.

Maybe there is a video in my list that is causing it to choke. Maybe you will see that in the output.

Thank you. Makes sense. I'll look into that.
